Dr. Matthew Brodhead, Associate Professor at Michigan State, had ChatGPT draft an editorial decision letter for a manuscript with two "reject" recommendations. The result was clear and professional — by his account, better than some human editors manage.
Benefits & outcomes
A small demonstration that decision letters, a chore editors dread, are automatable to a decent standard.
Notes & quotes
"Best part about it: I've received responses from actual human editors that are more brief and less thoughtful."
"Given the growing usefulness of AI and its potential to help streamline the workflow, the excuses to be lazy are dwindling."
